SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The online intake Instrument on the GSA Ombudsman's web page 
receives inquiries from vendors who are currently doing business with 
or interested in doing business with GSA. The inquiries are collected 
by the GSA Ombudsman and routed to the appropriate office for 
resolution and/or implementation in the case of recommendations for 
process or program improvements. Reporting of the data collected helps 
highlight thematic issues that vendors encounter with GSA acquisition 
programs, processes, or policies, and identify areas where training is 
needed. The information collected also assists in identifying and 
analyzing patterns and trends to help improve efficiencies and lead to 
improvements in current practices.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Maximum Potential Respondents: 118.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total Maximum Potential Annual Responses: 118.
    Hours per Response: .25.
    Total Burden Hours: 29.5.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary, whether it will have practical 
utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection 
of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and 
methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, 
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
